Kojima just recently got involved with the new Castlevania game... and it only recently became a Castlevania game. It was shown just as "Lord of Shadows" last year, when it wasn't a Castlevania game at all.

LOL I help run the gaming section on one message board and post on 2 others and could have sworn I posted something here all ready. The trailer looks pretty sick though. Can't wait to play it.

Do you post on the IGN forums by any chance, Tatts?

I just registered recently. Why what's up?

[<ô> bango skank <ô>]

Need somewhere to vent my fury. just ignore me if you dont care.

Everyone on street fighter 4 are absolute cowards. whenever im about too win a fight they disconnect. and sometimes it blames me!!! i now have a 3% disconnect rate because of them, and earlier, when i asked a dude why i was kicked out of his room, he said it was because i had disconnected and that he hates people like me.

If this happened in real life, when playing with freinds, i would be serving a life stretch in prison for beating them all to death. I payed 40 quid too be able too play 95% of a fight. fucking joke.

and dont even get me started on the people who have shitty dail-up internet connections and take advantage of the glitches.... it's 2009. get fecking broadband!!!

Rant over... continue.

the 360 market place will be getting an Avatar marketplace some point this year. They be coming out with outfit based on some of your favorite games. The few i saw mentioned were, Gears of war, Fallout 3, Splinter Cell, and Halo.

Also they are finally getting rid of the fucking point system and going with straight money like the PS3 does FINALLY.

I hate people like that. That would happen to me a lot during Need for speed Carbon.

The point system isn't disappearing... but the 360 digital game download service will use actual money. Microsoft points will remain, but the service where you can download full 360 titles will require a credit card and charge an actual monetary amount.

The Avatar Marketplace should be pretty good. They also said some pieces of clothing will be tied to in-game achievements, as well.

What system are you playing on? I play on PS3 pretty regularly (several hundred matches online) and I've only been disconnected once when fighting another player. I never even encounter anyone playing on dial-up (it shouldn't even let them online without broadband).

Finally got online and matched up in the Drake's 2 online beta and can't say that I'm very impressed. The maps are nice, but it's kind of your basic run around and shoot people with crappy weapons game. There are two teams, heroes/villians, and it's a deathmatch to 50 kills. Um, gee. Okay. Very cutting edge.

I'll be getting Drake's 2 for the offline/storyline game, but the online thing for me won't be a factor.

[<ô> bango skank <ô>]

im playing on PSN doing championship mode on SF 4 and i must just be the most unlucky person alive then. earlier i was Cammeying this fool allover the place and he disconnected. then sent me a PM saying "lol". honestly, i'm a few more bad matches away from quiting for good. Will destroy my PS3 and stick to snake on the arcade.

When I played Dead Space, I could barely play on minimum system settings. I would often freeze up or glitch up and I'd have to leave the game and open the task manager to get it running again.
I just upgraded my Video card today, and i can now play in High!!!
maybe it's the 914 extra mb of RAM, or the fact that it's about newer by like five years, but it is fuckin awesome. Those necromorphs looked beautiful (disturbingly enough) with these settings

[fernandito]

I heart Dead Space. I've even bought the tie in comics and anime dvd. Can't wait for the sequel

[razz]

The anime was pretty interesting, I enjoyed it. I know there's a rail shooter (is that all the Wii is good for?!) sequel (prequel?) supposedly being released this year, and isn't there gonna be a full out sequel later?

Also, Prototype is being released tomorrow, anyone else interested?

[fernandito]

As far as I know, the anime is the only prequel the game has... do you have a link to an article?

And I have a trip coming up soon so I won't be purchasing Prototype this month, but as soon as I get back I'll definitely be picking it up

[razz]

I'm probably getting confused, but i think the upcoming rail shooter for the Wii is supposed to be a prequel, taking place on the planet surface. I don't have the article, sorry.

[fernandito]

Ahhh, so it's a prequel to the prequel, interesting

Thanks Yun.

They featured a video about the wii version of Dead Space on IGN awhile ago. It looked pretty interesting and is supposed to describe the origins.

That looks awesome! I cant' wait to play it and see how it ties in the first game. Definitely a day-1 purchase for sure

[razz]

I'll be nice and wait till day-2 to show up at your place.

Hey Friends - Did anyone download the WaW Map Pack 2 ? How are the maps? Worth the 10bucks? Good for sniping? Run and gun?

[razz]

Hope it's good. This looks awesome, btw:
